Tief im Riff

Steer four fish through a reef together, because a shoal uncovers far more than a lone swimmer.

Four fish swim together through a coral reef, and you all steer them as one team. Stay close and you flip more sea creature tiles at once, drift apart and you barely uncover anything before the fish reach open water.

Fish sharing a space reveal higher-value tilesEveryone moves any fish, so every turn is a group decisionFully cooperative with no elimination

Who it's for

Young children learning to plan together, and parents who want a cooperative game that teaches sticking with the group.

Not for you if…

You want depth for older players: the die decides your range and the choices are simple, so anyone past about eight will be done with it fast. It is also mainly sold in German-speaking markets.

Vibe's take

Gentle and chatty, with the whole table weighing each move. The pressure builds quietly as fish drift toward the exits.
